The opportunity to express art is a child’s biggest obstacle to overcome (Althouse et al 2003). “Go Ahead Secret Seven” is a novel written by Enid Blyton. The Year 6 class will predict what will happen next in the novel in the style of Nick Parker animations. Their animation will cover areas including art, music and drama. Children will explore such areas to enhance their animation. The National Curriculum states that it wants children to ‘experiment’ with different kinds of art and design. Rayment (2007) argues that assessment within the arts can be challenging because children bring their own personal perspective and experience. The answer to assessment is not straightforward as there are factors including the type of activity and personal perspective. I want the class to have sketchbooks, Edwards (2013) says that ‘sketchbooks can be a vital source of assessment information’, because sketchbooks are personal thinking and development records. However, Croft et al (2001) say that the routine and structure of schooling can diminish imagination and many children do not regain the ability of being imaginative. The National Curriculum states that …show more content…
That is why I have given scope with the choice of materials. Children who have a range of materials to choose from can ‘conjure up ideas’ (Key and Stillman, 2009). They go on to say that to have an extensive range of materials is not always the answer, ‘children can be forced to act in more imaginative and purposeful ways’. Croft et al (2001) state that ‘young children have a natural ability for using their imagination’. They go on to say that a mental image is conjured up inside the head, it may not be real or realistic but it is a process of having a new idea that was not recently thought of. The National Curriculum declares that pupils should be taught to develop their techniques with

Throughout the 81 years of Disney’s magnificent animation picture films, starting from drawings and paintings to the use of technology, animation has advanced and revolutionized the entertainment industry. This has changed the world by creating more content for children to see, changed the world of animation from cartoons to full on motion pictures that can make people feel emotion, providing entertainment through Walt Disney’s creations, his company’s later creations, and creations made by companies that the Disney have bought. It inspired millions of children to follow their dreams and have a major impact on their

In this case, the children playing in the water are in a situation where cognitively they are creating pathways in which they can begin to identify objects, ways of exploring, what happens when you touch certain surfaces etc. The children are developing more knowledge of the water, the memory of what it feels like and an imagination on what can be done with it. An important aspect to remember is because the child is developing cognitively this, in turn, impacts other developmental domains as the child's brain is developing a memory for actions, words, and social cues. For example, as children are learning physical movements they are learning emotional attachments to these or they communication it takes to perform these movements. As children grow in age they grow further cognitively Piaget highlights the different stages a child 'undergoes' as they continue to develop.
In this essay I will discuss the importance of following children’s interests, the stages of development and the importance of adult providing appropriate opportunities for the children to be creative. Also I discussed the benefit of music. Schemas form part of Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. Schemas are an organised way of making sense of experiences. While going through the different stages of development children will go through a stage of accommodation this is creating new schemas and adjusting old schemas as old schemas do not capture the environment correctly.
Their pupils will be able to know their strengths and weaknesses and know how to improve themselves right from the primary level (Civics and Moral Education Syllabus, 2007 (Character and Citizenship Education Primary Syllabus, 2014)).

Introduction It is very important to study about the development of the human. Because it provides framework to think about human growth, their mental development, and the most important one, ‘their learning’. As a teacher it is very important to study about these theories. Because it have a close relationship with the development of the students and their learning behavior (Michael, 2012) .
That is surprising for the students because it’s like they think its good and that they’re going to get a good grade where in reality they get a horrible one. As Picasso once said, “ All children are born artists, the problem is to remain an artist as they grow up." Children are not frightened of being wrong. Being wrong isn’t the same thing as being creative at all. If you 're not prepared for being wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.
How Art Positively Impacts Contemporary Culture Art is one of the biggest influencers in today’s world. It has the ability to make positive changes in a number of ways. It is a powerful form of expression used all around the world.
“Arts education is critical for helping students develop creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving abilities” (Chernin). The arts can help people succeed. Art is a way that people can express themselves and share their beliefs. Arts in education can help people focus and attend. Fine arts are important because they make a huge impact on kids education, they make an impact on how people pursue their life careers, and it also helps with stress and anxiety.
Modern day schooling forces students to fit a mold only a select few can fill by creating too much structure and having an overbearing emphasis on math and science, when other, less structured extracurricular activities can promote respect, discipline, and teamwork. Most would agree that, in early stages of life, art is a detrimental and necessary part of any child’s early development and education. In fact, Pre-K through third grade’s education curriculum is usually centered around promoting early creativity and a fondness for learning. Kids learn math by counting colorful pieces of bricks. They learn both science and the basic principles of functionality by playing with train sets and toy cars.
